Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, health, lifestyle and goals before completing a physical assessment. They will explain their findings and develop a plan with you. Treatment or exercise will usually begin during the first appointment where appropriate.

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or change an appointment. Late cancellations and missed appointments may incur a fee. Workers compensation insurers do not usually cover missed appointments, so these may be charged privately.
